POEM: Read “My Aunty My Pain” By Williams Etumnu, To Know What Men Suffer Silently Too

This is a master expository of the hidden, unseen sufferings, pains, humiliation and harassment that male folks go through on daily basis especially from childhood.

It starts from Childhood but does not end there as it also consumes the energetic, mature, young and aged men and the worst part is that the world shuts their ears to alarms of these pains, thinking it is a situation peculiar to the female forks alone.

My Aunty My Pain

We used to call her

Aunty elegance

Back then in JSS 2

A beauty in darkness

And no one knows

 

I was picked for extra morals

Oh, the brainy she fancied

Privileged I thought

Hmmm!Hers, only for the ride

But how could I have known

The plan in my innocent heart

When beauty is hidden in darkness?

 

Aunty NO! Don’t do this!

I’m still a boyYet she pressed

Deaf and deaf she acted

You’re no boy

She roughly handled my untouched groin

 

Be calm you’ll enjoy

I struggled to wriggle out

As many times I tried

As many times overpowered

Facing the strength of Hulk Hogan

Oh, it wasn’t easy, my strength failed

Aunty why?

 

As I cried

She pounced

Up and down

The weight I couldn’t carry

My teenage age

Painted with scars

Will anyone ever believe

I have been raped by aunty Elegance

The one everyone admires.
